This code (it takes a several seconds to load) uses a piece of JavaScript to instantiate a Java socket call back to the origin site. In doing so it bypasses the proxy settings of the browser, allowing you to de-anonymize people using proxies. It works great for Tor or just about any HTTP proxy that I can think of. Cool stuff.

Daaaaaaamn!! That’s some scary shit for those of us just trying to keep a bit of privacy on the net. Some of us just want to look at some titties without the whole net following us around. Some of us want to study some information perceived clandestine by our governments. (Note: Germany just made posting penetration testing tools illegal!! See Darknet)

There’s alot of information to cover here and some of it just plain confused me at first, so I summarized what I saw as potential bullet points in the article.
